Artist:

Otem Rellik

Holed up in various basements across Fort Collins, Colorado, otem rellik (Toby Hendricks) has made the best of badly lit recording spaces with dusty floors and creaking ceilings. With a never-ending list of influences, otem's music, though rooted in hip hop, resonates with a wide spectrum of musical appetites. Whether harmonizing a powerful chorus or spilling out rough, sometimes guttural raps, rellik's regard for poetic lyricism is underscored by humbling and translucent honesty.
